“Cultures of Motherhood,” Rev. Audrey Brooks & Dr. Jennifer Askey, May 10, 2020 - a podcast by Unitarian Church of Edmonton (UCE)

Beginning with the OWL curriculum, we UUs teach and believe that family comes in myriad constellations. We celebrate LGBTQ+ chosen family, extended family, aunties of all sorts, and brothers and sisters from other mothers and misters. Join us today as we celebrate family, caretaking, and being loved throughout the ages. Especially today, as we are more likely than not to be physically distant from some of our loved ones, let us reflect on how love, care, and tenderness manifest in unexpected ways. #UU #YEG

The Unitarian Church of Edmonton is a liberal, multi-generational, religious community. We celebrate a rich mosaic of free-thinking, spiritually-questing individuals joined in common support and action. We welcome diversity including diversity of beliefs from divine believers to humanists, from pagans to atheists and agnostics. We believe in the compassion of the human heart, the warmth of community, the pursuit of justice and the search of meaning in our lives.

We gather with gratitude on traditional Cree lands that are now a part of Treaty Six and shared by many nations. A treaty is an inheritance, a responsibility and a relationship. May we be good neighbours to one another, good stewards to our planet and good ancestors to our children.
